Belize Dive Haven Resort & Marina

Well I was a part of soon to be infamous group of 60 with Scubaboard. My first review of any "resort". I'm doing to protect yourself from the literal hardships and nightmares of a week long vacation at this dumpster fire. I'm a 61 yr old male who has been doing resort all inclusive diving trips since I was 18. I will go into great detail, partly because my organizer discounted the bad reviews for this "resort" and it's "fake news" 5 * reviews. I was with my wife, thankfully we didn't bring the kids this time. My wife and I landed in Belize and put our luggage onto a really poor condition bus. No seat belts, no ac lol, pretty unsafe. We caught the bigger boat to the Atoll and I met the owner, Hakim, on the boat ride over. Met up with other staff as well and found out they're only taking care of us. There's no one else here. They opened and closed a week later for us. Ok. Weird. Bad start, and it got much worse. First night food was 1 thin crust pizza cooked one at a time. They would give you 2 tiny slices after a 30 minute wait (4 bites). Should have waited, it would have been the last hot meal I would have. I would really grow to appreciate hot food over the next week lol. The hotel is strange, falling apart, power out constantly, wifi weak and only can get it in the room. A belt broke on a generator on Friday so we had no power our last afternoon and they had to go to the mainland to get a replacement. We walked by a volleyball beach setup with a rotten net, an exercise room with 4 dumbbells and a kindergarten sized basketball hoop at like 7ft lol. There were 2 dart boards, and I love darts. I asked for darts and was told they didn't keep them because they "rust". Tip. Bring your own darts lol, it's the only thing to do. Thank God we didn't have bad weather, I could not imagine. No spa, no restaurants, storage room empty. In the room, our tv never worked. I contemplated calling someone but there was no phone. The bathroom door was translucent. Anyone walking by knows your exact position lol. There's also a window into the shower. Because you want to be able to look from the shower, into the room, or the opposite. Some didn't have hot water, or water pressure was terrible. We had decent water pressure and hot water. Toilet paper was another matter, When we were almost out I was talking to an employee who did room cleaning service and was able to get a second roll of toilet paper for me and the wife. No map for the property, no one to contact, only 1 key, no soap or old soap left from a previous guest. Nasty hair in the shower. The food is on a whole new level of disgusting you can only imagine. The first dinner we had was at 9 Saturday night after our arrival. People were starving after a long day of travel and after having to share 6 thin crust pizzas lol. Food finally arrived at 9, cold rice, beans and chicken. They're trying to heat a large container of food with one sterno burner, 6 inches below t

Nothing about this resort is as advertised, except the diving. Limited food options that were luke warm at best and most of the resort is in a terrible state of repair. About half the hotel and most of the buildings were abandoned with no maintenance or cleaning for years. One pool had water in it but the other was empty. No dive shop, the "spa" was in one of the hotel rooms. Worth about 25% of what they are charging.

Belize Dive Haven is a beautiful destination with incredible potential. While there are a few areas that could use improvement, the exceptional staff truly make up for it with their professionalism and warm hospitality. The pool is massive—perfect for a relaxing swim and the diving experiences are absolutely breathtaking. My only critique would be the food and beverage offerings. I’d love to see the natural juices made from fresh fruits rather than concentrates. That said, I would definitely return given the chance—it’s an unforgettable experience overall.
